> PLANNING AHEAD
>
> The best gift anyone can give me this new year is a planner.
> I like planners because I am a planner.
> I like thinking ahead.
> I like being prepared.
> I get a high from being on top of things.
> But some things are beyond planning. And life doesn't always turn out
> as planned.
>
> You don't plan for a broken heart.
> You don't plan for a failed business venture.
> You don't plan for an adulterous husband.
> Or a wife who wants you out of her life.
> You don't plan for an autistic child.
> You don't plan for spinsterhood.
> You don't plan for a lump in your breast.
>
> You plan to be young forever.
> You plan to climb the corporate ladder.
> You plan to be rich and powerful.
> You plan to be acclaimed and successful.
> You plan to conquer the universe.
> You plan to fall in love - and be loved forever.
>
> You don't plan to be sad.
> You don't plan to be hurt.
> You don't plan to be broke.
> You don't plan to be betrayed.
> You don't plan to be alone in this world
>
> You plan to be happy. You don't plan to be shattered.
> Sometimes if you work hard enough, you can get what you want.
> But most times, what you want and what you get are two different things.
>
> We, mortals, plan. But so does God in the heavens.
>
> Sometimes, it is difficult to understand God's plans especially when
> His plans are not in consonance with ours. Often, when God sends us
> crisis, we turn to Him in anger. True, we cannot choose the cross
> that God wishes us to carry, but we can carry that cross with courage
> knowing that God will never abandon us nor send something we cannot cope
with.
>
> Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
> Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.
> Sometimes, God sends us pain so we can be stronger.
> Sometimes, God sends us failure so we can be humble.
> Sometimes God sends us illness so we can take better care of ourselves.
> Sometimes, God takes everything away from us so we can
> learn the value of everything He gave us.
>
> Make plans but understand that we live by God's grace.
>
